    Fab white tablecloth steakhouse near Bryant. Excellent service all around. Food was perfectly prepared. We mostly had seafood items but the burrata and grilled shrimp appetizers were spot on and enjoyed perfect presented sea bass swordfish and Scottish salmon. Finished w limoncello gratis.

    While there is a quiet ambience, drunk people can be heard all over the place shouting from the bar. Steaks and sides were good, but nothing amazing. Onion soup was watery. Three stars at the most

    Everything about this place was amazing! Took clients for dinner. Seafood appetizer was incredible with the BEST scallops I’ve ever tasted! Entrees included Yellowfin tuna, 3 Ribeyes and 1 porterhouse. All cooked perfectly and delicious! Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely return the next time I’m in the city!

    With the consideration of the location in mind, I suppose the exorbitant price is what you expect. However with that being said, I do believe the service could've been a little better. Staff was friendly enough. They just were not detail oriented ( had to ask for items multiple times) and were slow. Three hours for dinner is a long time especially when you're out of town and you have a driver and a car waiting for you. If you're not in any hurry or have loads of patience, I would say give it a try. Food was decent.

    Delicious 12 oz filet cooked perfectly! Great price for the size. The crab cocktail and creamy corn were delightful as well! Our server took care to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!
